Let me tell you how to run your web site

Comment: Dear snopes.com,
I think that you should add funnier articles

Comment: I recently came across the article about a soldier growing his own grass in a deployed location.

http://www.snopes.com/photos/military/grass.asp

I talked about this withmy wife, who spent several years as an inspector for the United States Department of Agriculture. She and I agree that the article should have a warning attached to it. Sending seeds across international borders is highly illegal and should not be condoned. Many plant species are invasive and could cause ecological harm if not controlled properly. This case was not harmful as the soldier in question purchased the sod locally, and the sod was well cared for. However, if there had been some sort of plant bacteria in the original seeds and it were to spread to a local food source, he might have caused an epidemic.

Please attach a small paragraph on the legality of mailing plant material.

Yeah, Snopes. It's YOUR job to tell everyone about import/export laws!

This is more like "let me tell you how to run somebody else's website".

As if MySpace needs more scary urban legends.

But you see, snopes is the origin of all urban legends, and he's the one who unleashes them via email and MySpace. Or that's what this guy thinks.

Now I have a mental image of a topless Bloody Mary, wreaking her vengeance while straddling a Harley-Davidson.

From now on the articles a, the, and an will be replaced with the words "booger", "weasel", and "farquart", respectively.

Comment: regarding the article in the "racial rumors" category, about
David Letterman's 10 reasons why there are no black NASCAR drivers:

I think it was in very poor taste to publish the text of the list. Many
people who have never seen the list will get it from snopes.com. So you
are no better than the people who forward the e-mails containing this
text.

I'm a white person and i find this objectionable (that you publish the
text). I'll be surprised if the NAACP doesn't jump on you. Also, i found
your explanation of the joke objectionable. The important point is that
David Letterman didn't author it. Beyond that, no further explanation is
necessary.

Because, as we all know, if you ignore racism it will go away.

My lawn barely survives the summer here, and only does so will a great amount of care. Somehow I doubt that my grass seeds would cause an ecological disater in a desert.

No, it's a references to a classic movie "The Girl on the Motorcycle" (IIRC as imdb or my connection is too slow to check)
